Chapter 287 The Back-up of Shaxian Town

When Li Zhanwu was looking for Qin Hao, the latter had reached the door of the house of the mayor of Shaxian Town.

Some people were standing there, fully armed, looking at Qin Hao as if he had been a formidable enemy.

The current leader of Shaxian Town, deputy mayor of the town, Yun Zhongcheng watched Qin Hao coming alone and was a bit scared.

The young person really shocked him. He knew what happened at the practice field. Even Monk Kuye, the best of the best was defeated, then who could defeat him?

Yun Zhongcheng didn’t care about Qin Hao before, but now he knew that this person was stronger than the strongest man in the world of Martial Cultivators. Only Semi-Ancient Martial World masters could rival him. Otherwise, nobody could defeat him. Even Marital Cultivators in Shaxian Town all fight against him, he would not be defeated.

Although it was the case, as the current mayor of Shaxian Town, he could not appear too weak in front of a young person, otherwise, he would have no face before his subordinates. He would not be able to be the leader of the No.1 town of the world‒Shaxian Town. And he didn’t know how to face the mayor when he came back.

Now he was the leader of Shaxian Town, if he appeared weak, then others would too. So, he had to keep composedness.

And he had the reason to keep composedness too, which was the mayor, who had gone to the Semi-Ancient Martial World to pursue his Tao. He was a master beyond the Void Stage. With him as the back-up, they didn’t have to worry that much.

He had sent a message to the mayor. He responded and said he would come back with some Void Stage masters. Even though Qin Hao was strong, he could not handle several Void Stage masters in the meantime.

“Master Qin, we’ve remained independent on your conflict. We didn’t help either side. But what do you mean by attacking all the way to our door?” Yun Zhongcheng said coldly, with the authority of the deputy mayor.

Qin Hao smiled a wicked smile, “Independent? You’ve provided the place for them to meet and held a Martial Cultivator Conference for them, and founded the Martial Cultivator League to fight against the country, and you call it independent?”

“Master Qin, you may don’t know how we do things here. The town has always been a place for Martial Cultivators to meet. Whatever agenda they have, if they’ve come here, we’ll provide services for them. It’s like a hotel. If your enemies meet at a hotel to discuss plans, do you blame the hotel?”

One had to admit that it was convincing, and it was hard to argue back.

But it was meaningless for Qin Hao. Independent or not, he needed to defeat all Martial Cultivators. Shaxian Town was also a Sect, he had to destroy it.

And was it really independent? If he surrendered or was defeated, would they remain independent? They probably would appeal people to kill them for the good of all Martial Cultivators, and to kill all people in the Sky Group.

Judging from their everyday behaviors and habits, Qin Hao did not suspect that they would do it, so he didn’t want to talk to them anymore.

“Anyway, you’re with the Martial Cultivators. Now, tell me where your treasury of cultivation resources is. I’ll spare you if you tell me.” That was why he came here. He was eager for cultivation resources to become a Fifth Stage Martial Cultivator (Void Stage). As the town of Martial Cultivators, there must be a lot of resources in Shaxian Town, and he would not let go of it.

Yun Zhongcheng and others realized now that he came here to rob.

It was impossible. Those resources were vital to all sects. Without them, these sects would not exist at all. Why on earth would anyone give them out?

“Hum, Master Qin, you’re the Instructor of the Sky Group in Huaxia, robbing people of their cultivation resources sounds a bit mean.” Yun Zhongcheng said, disgusted.

Qin Hao smiled coldly, “All the resources belong to Huaxia, and I’m here to collect them on behalf of Huaxia. Why can’t I?”

“Uh…”

What a damn reason! It made people speechless. He was really representing Huaxia? Who knew whether he would keep it to himself or give it to the country?

“Qin Hao, don’t push too hard. Our Mayor Yun has given you enough respect. If you keep going on, when our mayor is back, well, don’t say I didn’t remind you.” A big guy behind Yun Zhongcheng couldn’t hold himself back and shouted at Qin Hao.

“Your mayor?” Qin Hao was confused and looked at Yun Zhongcheng, “You’re not the mayor?”

Yun Zhongcheng nodded, “I’m the deputy mayor. The mayor had gone to Semi-Ancient Martial World for years. Now he has finished his practice and is coming back with several void Stage masters. They will at most arrive tomorrow.” Saying this, Yun Zhongcheng was very arrogant, and was proud of what he had.

Qin Hao froze. He didn’t realize there was such a strong back-up for Shaxian Town.

Well, he really didn’t know if he could handle with several Void Stage masters.

Without the strength and evilness of the Yin Wind Bone Erosion Palm, he couldn’t have handled Kuye just now. Now there were quite several of them, he wouldn’t be able to fight against them, unless he became a Fifth Stage Martial Cultivator. Or, he would die.

And the key to become a Fifth Stage Martial Cultivator was to get the resources at Shaxian Town.

See Qin Hao freezing, people of the town thought he was afraid and stopped worrying. Their confidence ballooned. The big guy even laughed, “Hahaha, boy, now you’re afraid? You’ll die in the moment our mayor comes back.”

Qin Hao came back to earth and forced a smile at the guy, “Haha, I’m really scared.”

“Then off you go!” The guy shouted arrogantly.

“You can’t make me do that.” Qin Hao moved his lips and launched a palm.

A small shadow of a palm was blown on the man’s chest quietly, like a tap. The man just shook and didn’t even fly away.

But people were shocked to find that the track of the palm went through the chest and left a hole in the shape of the palm.

“You…!” The man looked at the hole and went pale. He stared at Qin Hao and wanted to say something but he fell down. He didn’t say anything and died with fear and regret.

Qin Hao’s action made everyone pale. Their confidence disappeared in front of something like this.

Although their back-up would arrive soon, but not now. So if Qin Hao wanted to kill them now, there was nothing they could do.

Yun Zhongcheng was angry, “Qin Hao, you’re not afraid of our mayor?”

“That’s my problem, not yours. Now let me ask again. Where are your resources? You’ll all die if you don’t answer in 3 seconds. And I’ll go look for them. I’ll certainly find them with time.” Qin Hao threatened and counted, “One, two, …”

“OK. I’ll show you.” Finally, Yun Zhongcheng compromised and said yes to Qin Hao’s conditions.

“OK, you’re smart. Show me the way.” Qin Hao smiled, satisfied.

With Yun Zhongcheng’s guide, Qin Hao went into mayor’s house and realized the complexity of the huge building. There were all kinds of fake mountains, buildings, hallways, and pavilions, like a maze. Ordinary people would lose their way here without a guide.

They all went into a tunnel underground after a lot of turns.

It was gloomy in the tunnel, but it was very dry and even a little warm. The walls were made of sand. It was a tunnel below the desert.

“Master Qin, the treasury was in there. Follow me.” Yun Zhongcheng turned on a flashlight and went inside.

Qin Hao had Spirit Sense and could walk in darkness without the flashlight. So he didn’t say anything and just followed.

After around 5 minutes later, three splits appeared, Yun Zhongcheng went to the one in the middle and didn’t even look at the other two.

“What are the other two used for?” Qin Hao asked coldly.

“Well, Master Qin,” Yun Zhongcheng quickly explained, “The one on the left was a road to a lake at an oasis in the desert. You know we desperately need water here, every day for people. If there is a sandstorm and water cannot be collected above, we’ll go to the oasis from here.”

“The one on the right was to go out. In case of an emergency, we can escape from here. And the middle is to the treasury of cultivation resources.”

Qin Hao seemed to have understood Yun Zhongcheng’s patient explanation and nodded, “Oh, I get it.”

After hearing him, Yun Zhongcheng secretly smiled, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

The several people who were following them from Shaxian Town realized what Yun Zhongcheng meant and looked at each other. They knew what was going to happen and touched their weapons at their waist or back, on purpose or not.

Qin Hao didn’t seem to have realized all these and kept following Yun Zhongcheng to the deepest place of the tunnel in silence.
